Gávea

Gávea is Rio's best-kept secret, a waterfall paradise hidden in the Tijuca Forest. Follow moss-covered stone steps to discover the thunderous Cachoeira do Horto waterfall and its iconic natural pools. Daredevils leap from 10-meter cliffs into emerald waters at the legendary "Tarzan Pool". Come early to avoid crowds – don't forget your swimsuit, non-slip shoes, and sense of adventure! This jungle oasis proves why Rio is called the "Cidade Maravilhosa" (Marvelous City).
